Rapid grocery delivery service to create 130 jobs
Zoom by Ocado says it will create about 130 jobs at a new site in Leeds.
The roles will include team leaders, drivers and warehouse staff.
The rapid grocery delivery service, which is owned by Ocado Retail, offers a range of 10,000 products which can be ordered for delivery within an hour or later that same day.
Ocado Retail has confirmed it plans to open its Zoom by Ocado site in Leeds in the fourth quarter of 2022.
In a statement, the company said: “Zoom by Ocado’s second site in Canning Town, East London, has received a very strong customer response since its opening in May and together with the original site in Acton, West London, Zoom by Ocado has so far delivered over 825,000 orders, including 107,000 bunches of bananas.”
Along with the planned Leeds operation, another site is expected to open in Leyton, London, in the third quarter.
George Dean, head of Zoom by Ocado, added: “It’s really exciting to be able to reveal the locations of our next two sites – Leyton, allowing us to reach more customers in North and East London, and Leeds, our first Zoom by Ocado site outside of London.
“Rapid delivery shouldn’t mean compromising on product range, value or quality.”
